项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) is a leading center for research on minority health and aging. UTMB has hosted an NIA-supported pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training program in minority health and aging since 1999. UTMB also has an MD-PhD Combined Degree Program since 1983 and has educated more than 100 clinician-scientists. Students accepted into the program complete an integrated MD-PhD curriculum that combines aspects of both the Medical School and Graduate School experiences to optimize the education of clinician-scientists. The Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health (PMCH) hosts a Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) newly accredited Population Health Science PhD program. The Population health Sciences program will partner with the MD-PhD Combined Degree Program to recruit 5 MD- PhD students over the five year period. The proposed MD-PhD program in clinical and behavioral sciences on health disparities in aging will focus on core areas of strengths in minority aging and health disparities research at UTMB, including: Hispanic and Hispanic/Latino health and aging, and disparities in health outcomes in older adults. These are areas in which the University has committed substantial resources toward creating new faculty positions and has demonstrated significant success in obtaining peer-reviewed (R01) support. In concert with the recently accredited graduate program in Population Health Sciences, we are proposing an integrated curriculum throughout medical school and the graduate years that will address both clinical aspects and cutting edge research on health disparities in older adults. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Provost's Office have made significant commitments in the past few years to enhancing the excellence of graduate education at UTMB. These commitments include the President's Scholars Program to recruit outstanding graduate students and the establishment of an Office of Postdoctoral Affairs that includes organized training and opportunities in career development and mentoring. We have developed a formal structure and related activities to enhance recruitment and facilitate the placement of our trainees regionally and nationally. We believe that our clinician scientist trainees will be competitive for leadership positions among th next generation of aging researchers and clinicians.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学医学分部 (UTMB) 是少数民族健康和老龄化方面的领先研究中心，自成立以来，UTMB 一直在 NIA 支持的少数民族健康和老龄化方面开展博士前和博士后培训项目。 1999 年。自 1983 年以来，UTMB 还开设了医学博士-博士联合学位项目，并已培养了 100 多名临床医生-科学家，该项目录取的学生完成了医学博士-博士综合课程。预防医学和社区健康系 (PMCH) 主办了公共卫生教育委员会 (CEPH) 新认可的人口健康科学博士项目。健康科学项目将与医学博士-博士联合学位项目合作，在五年内招收 5 名医学博士-博士生。拟议的关于老龄化健康差异的临床和行为科学医学博士-博士项目将重点关注以下核心领域。少数族裔老龄化和健康差异的优势 UTMB 的研究包括：西班牙裔和西班牙裔/拉丁裔健康与老龄化，以及老年人健康结果的差异，大学在这些领域投入了大量资源来创建新的教职职位，并在获得同行评审方面取得了巨大成功。 (R01) 支持。与最近认可的人口健康科学研究生项目相一致，我们提议在医学院和研究生阶段开设综合课程，以解决老年人健康差异的临床问题和前沿研究。生物医学科学学院和教务长办公室在过去几年中做出了重大承诺，以提高 UTMB 的研究生教育质量，这些承诺包括招募优秀研究生的校长学者计划以及建立包括组织培训在内的博士后事务办公室。我们已经制定了正式的结构和相关活动，以加强招聘并促进区域和全国范围内的实习生的安置。我们相信，我们的临床科学家实习生将在下一代领导职位中具有竞争力。老龄化研究人员和信徒。
